LAFFS Field Cache Rd | RC Flying Field Weather
Live conditions for this AMA model airfield in Lawton, OK, decoded from KLAW, 7 nm away, the closest station reporting right now, because this field's usual station KFSI has no current report: wind, gusts, visibility, and an RC flyability read before you drive to the field.
The runway orientation (18/36) is confirmed by the club and drives the live crosswind meter on this page. The site is an FAA-Recognized Identification Area (FRIA), where eligible members can fly without Remote ID broadcast equipment. Published field hours: PETROMAT RUNWAY 500FTPETROMAT PITS & TAXI WAYS. One other AMA field sits within 50 miles.
Good flying weather
A manageable breeze for most sport models and trainers; very light foamies may get pushed around.
🌙 It's dark at the field right now. Sunrise 7:52 AM CDT.
Based on KLAW, 7 nm away. Measured at the airport, not the field. This field's usual station KFSI has no current report, so KLAW is the closest station reporting now.
⚠️ Weather shown is from the nearest full-scale reporting station, not measured at the field. Not for flight decisions: assess wind and sky conditions on site and follow the AMA Safety Code and your club's field rules.
Runway winds & crosswind
Pre-filled with runway 18/36, confirmed by the club. Adjust it if you fly different numbers and we'll remember your change on this device.
